HUATULCO, MEXICO

 Huatulco is located where the foothills of the Sierra Madre del Sur mountains meet the Pacific Ocean, approximately 400 kilometres (250 mi) east of Acapulco, Guerrero.^[1] The population is 50,000. 

The shore was lined with souvenir shops offering silver jewelry at horrendous prices.  I did not shop.  While it was possible to buy postcards, no one had stamps.  The nearest post office was vaguely "in the town, that way".  There was no shade along the road but a lot of fast cars.  Sorry, no post cards.

 

Sunrise

Fishing and tourist boats

TV screen - bow camera.  There does not seem to be an aft camera, at least not for the tv.

The day was quite pleasant, in the shade, but quickly became much hotter in the sun.

Lovely, whatever they are.

My camera was not advanced enough to see the parrots and other birds in the trees but they were there.

It's a beach town!

Lethal weapons - fortunately not directly along the sidewalk

Keep the beach clean, and  QUEEN VICTORIA behind the sign.

 

 

The eagle on the Mexican flag alludes to an important moment in Mexican history and culture that hails back to the time of the Aztecs. Legend has it that the Aztecs were told by one of their Gods, Huitzilopochtli, that they should look on a lake for an eagle sitting upon a cactus and holding a snake in its talon.
